Saturday, June 1st & Sunday, June 2nd. All day.
Trip leader: Dan Cooper
Join biologist and experienced nature guide Dan Cooper for an exciting late-spring birding adventure in Kern County. The trip meets in the Jawbone Canyon area the morning of Saturday, June 1 and continues into the afternoon of June 2, with an overnight in Kernville. Expect a wide variety of birds, and also a relaxed pace which aims for enjoyment instead of exhaustion. Target birds include late spring migrants and summer-resident species in desert, riparian, oak woodland, and montane habitats such as Summer Tanager, Golden Eagle, Tricolored Blackbird, and Pacific Wren. This is a limited-participation trip, and we will strongly encourage carpooling to keep the number of vehicles down. A high-clearance vehicle such as an SUV or crossover will be needed for part of the route.
The suggested donation for this trip is $75 per person. This does not include lodging or meals. Participants will need to make their own lodging arrangements in Kernville (and we will provide advice for that).
